Hello,
I am just wondering why there are still so may deprecated function used in the latest 2.4 version. We have written a little scanner which looks up some keywords (could be comments as well so its not hundred percent correct but it gives a good overview) to find deprecated function calls. The result is really not so bad as for lots of the functions there is a replacement even in php 5.2. eg split -> explode, ereg -> preg_match (slight change necessary). So here is the list

I know they will spit out only notices but come one we are reaching already php 5.4 and silverstripe didn't even sort out php 5.3.
